Here are a few more pics.
Tamiya 1/48 kits, Bf109-E(trop) & FW190D.

As you can well see, photography ain't my strong point.

However it appears that building totally awesome model kits IS your strong point.

Schlitz, Very nice job. I see you and I suffer from the same disease. Difficulty with a camera. Here is a F4u-1 I did a while back. I posted pics before.

Looking behind me, I still have about 100, mostly 1/48th scale kits stacked up, collected over the years. Haven't built seriously since I found Airwarrior back in 96. Just haven't had the time since

Should get back into it. I'd reached the point where I was getting halfway decent at it. Then those cyber 38s got into my bloodstream.

Just a partial list as I look at em.

14 F4 Phantom kits
7 F-16
10 Me 109
11 P-51
10 Spitfire
9 P-38

It goes on and on. Getting in the 'mood' for a certain kit or type always lead to more spending just to have some in reserve

That looks fantastic, Bodhi!
What paints did you you use. The Blue-gray looks fantasic.
Show more of your models please.
I kinda did a sidestep and did a ground target on my last one.

Dan,

It was a kit I got that was literally in a cardboard box with no directions or anything. Just a kit in a box. I copied another paint scheme from a model a friend gave me a while back.

Schlitz,

I will when I have the chance to pull them out of their storage box. Lacking of space recently. I do a ton of 1/35 tamiya and dragon tanks and such. Love them. Have several in the "to finish" bin! Finished a 190 last spring, not my best, but it was fun and built really quick.

Bodhi,
I would also be very inteerested to know the color of paints you used to make the blue-gray on the corsair - looks fantastic! Also, what do you use for the soot/smoke around the gun openings?

Bodhi · « **Reply #55 on:** January 14, 2007, 10:45:24 AM »

I use a lot of different paints... acrylics, epoxy, sometimes even paints from the shop. The soot and exhaust stains are made with a double action airbrush (Badger) and contain mostly flat black, a touch of white and brown. Practice on a painted piece of sheet styrene that is primed and coated the same color if you have not done it before. Then work quickly but purposefully.

As for panel lines, I scribe everyone, then I paint the model, and use darkened amounts of the base paint (darkened black) to make the shading. Use a double action airbrush, and a piece of flexible (read thin) styrene to literally mask the back side of the panel line off. there... instant shading.

People who have such a gift for producing finely built plastic models amaze me. I wish I had the talent for doing such a hobby.

It is nice to see everyone's work.
